BACnet Basic Evaluation, Analysis and Testing

Windows Client Software for BACnet Systems

If you're an end-user, installer or product developer trying to evaluate, analyze or test multi-vendor
BACnet systems, chances are you're struggling to make your system work properly and inter-operate
across vendors. If you've looked at the BACnet standard, you know that even simple communications
functions can present some daunting problems, and you probably don't have the time to become that much
of a BACnet expert. You need fast and reliable tools to help you get right into communicating with
BACnet devices and focus on solving your application problems. You need helpful, flexible tools
that really work, at a price that won't blow your budget. You need BACbeat™.

BACbeat is the industry's first easy-to-use all-purpose BACnet evaluation, analysis and testing tool
for Windows. BACbeat runs under Windows 7,8,10, Server 2008/2012 and XP, and provides a robust set of client
features tailored to the needs of end-users, installers and product developers.

BACbeat uses our famous sixth-generation BACdoor Client technology to deliver fast
and reliable performance. BACbeat works with BACnet/IP over Ethernet, and you can even use MS/TP through
USB or any standard serial COM port, with an external EIA-485 converter. For legacy applications, you
can use Ethernet 8802-3 with NDIS-compliant drivers, or PTP through
any standard serial COM port.

BACbeat's toolset is organized into functional sections that are accessed at any time with
a single click. The tools allow you to perform all of the basic functions used in typical BACnet systems including:

AtomicReadFile and AtomicWriteFile of entire files with or without segmentation

LifeSafety Operations

PrivateTransfers

BACbeat tools are simple to use and understand. For example, incoming alarms display all the
relevant information from EventNotifications. Alarms that require human acknowledgment enable
an Ack button when they are clicked.

Finding out detailed information about devices couldn't be easier thanks to tools
like the Device object inspector. Here, all the properties of a Device object are read
and displayed in a clear and intuitive form. Reading a list of objects from the device
is as simple as clicking the Object_List button.

If you can only have one tool for evaluating and testing BACnet systems, BACbeat is that must-have tool.
